native file format | lihata (structured text tree); support for loading and saving all old file versions
data model: hierarchic | single-sheet, flat multi-sheet, hierarchic multi-sheet
data model: symbol storage | embedded (each symbol placement is a copy in the sheet) or local-lib (symbols are stored only once per sheet and multiple placement referenced within the sheet)
data model: portability | sheet and symbol files are always self-contained and can be published without extra steps

UI options | gtk2, gtk4, lesstif (motif), batch (automated processing) configurable menus, keyboard and mouse actions
symbol library | parametric symbols written in any programming language optionally per system, per user, per project symbol libs
devmap library | a library of plain text files, one per device can map symbol terminals to footprint pins can set attributes of symbols and terminals optionally per system, per user, per project devmap libs
